A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana

Haven Kimmel has a great sense of humor and a great eye for the right detail. This is a book about family life in a small town in the mid-60s/early 1970s. Some of the stories are funny and some are more serious, but it all seems true to the time period. If you're looking for the next "Running with Scissors", you may find this too gentle, but I loved it.
